Why should the AI alignment problem be prioritized when the human alignment problem is still open, with little recent progress?
We already have a paperclip maximization machine.
We call it capitalism. It causes people to maximize individual wealth at the expense of all else.

Yeoh+Quan's wins have opened up a space to talk about Sinophone diasporas in SE Asia and their complicated and tricky relationship to both China and the countries where they have lived. Bc I am a nerd, a list of some relevant scholarly and literary works. Feel free to add others.

Michelle Yeoh is not Asian American. I would really love it if people acknowledged her MALAYSIAN ancestry and heritage because that's where she was born and raised. If you're gonna talk about representation and being seen, see her as she is, and acknowledge that, too.

Here's a KL mystery you can help me solve. For years, two French street signs have inexplicably stood high in a Chow Kit back alley intersection. Rue de Rivoli is in Paris, Rue Assalit in Nice. But no business I can trace in the area from 2013-2022 is French themed.

@kracetheking @debugjois I know it looks like a low rating but I actually LOVE Murakami. In case you haven't seen it, Drive My Car is a wonderful movie if you like the melancholic side of his stories theatlantic.com/podcasts/archi…

@sengming @debugjois I just found out @sengming you read the book year back and rated ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 😀 in Goodreads.

I’ve heard it said that the happiest time in our lives is the period when pop songs really mean something to us, really get to us. It may be true. Or maybe not. Pop songs may, after all, be nothing but pop songs. And perhaps our lives are merely decorative, expendable (1/2)

@kracetheking @debugjois when I read the quote I thought, "that sounds like something Murakami would say". How do you like the book so far?

@clarissajanlim This is a great article thanks for writing it! It’s personal for me since Robyn also carried my ballot home.

Solo founders, do you say "I" or "we" in your marketing / copy / pitch?

@chendo there are probably better chicken spots but personally I'd just find the closest one of these boontongkee.com.sg

If you’d pick one place to eat at in Singapore, where would it be?

I will never tire of people writing in and telling me how much they love @shortcatapp.

@rsnous i try to always use the explicit, multi line form, e.g.
```
let price = 5
let quantity = 10
total_price_after_taxes(price, quantity)
```
you're right that it's a sort of comment. But also it makes it easy for future me to confidently update the price
English
i guess it's probably context-dependent, like what do you want to communicate to the reader here (as well as how much of a problem there'd be with line readability)
that intermediate name `x` is sort of a comment twitter.com/rsnous/status/…
Omar Rizwan@rsnous
i think function names and variable names are just a kind of comment
English
tbh i'm never sure whether to do like
let x = 3 + y
foobar(x)
as opposed to just
foobar(3 + y)

The initial versions of SQLite was tested on the DDG-79 Oscar Austin. Which is a actual battleship. My friends SQLite was battleship tested from the start corecursive.com/066-sqlite-wit…

So what Tocqueville is saying, is that early American colonists were anarchists.

Thanks Mark for explaining that `git reflog` just means “List the SHAs of commits I have visited recently” blog.plover.com/prog/git/tips-…

I don’t think Piketty understands Merchants? I mean merchants care about Making Money. That should be on the top of the list.

@qedx_ for sure. it's called public transportation because it is a public good.
